Pretty sure the whole thing with Nintendo is not using the Sonic, Mega Man, or Pac Man stages.

 

[MarkMan]

how about that tekken <3

 

[Ferrio]

Damn, you. How am I supposed to get my fill of saltiness now?

He was telling his viewers to submit something for a Floe/Mike preshow.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

The stage thing with Nintendo is no big deal at all, it's just the third party stages which are all #BANNED anyways.

 

[Codeblue]

how about that tekken <3

You're a hero.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

Where are people seeing Nintendo banning stages?

 

[Silky]

But two party games got on the lineup too

 

[Mass Effect]

nice line-up ..still wondering how the heck KI made it out there ..but that 'll give me time to eat between things so i guess so all need "that" one game we dislike in the lineup..

How's KI's scene? Still somewhat popular? Seems like it is.

Plus I'm sure Microsoft made sure it showed up with a nice cash incentive.

And yet again, KI getting that shade.

But two party games got on the lineup too

Bruh

 

[braves01]

how about that tekken <3

It was a VERY NICE surprise.

 

[ec0ec0]

Nope. Trinen knows competitive Melee and Sm4sh, Nintendo is simply enforcing licensing issues with stages that include 3rd party IPs.

hopefully. I don't want to see a laaaaaandmaster at evo ever again

 

[FSLink]

Pretty sure the whole thing with Nintendo is not using the Sonic, Mega Man, or Pac Man stages.

Weird, which aren't stages people are gonna use anyway. Even on Omega stages people don't usually go to those outside of Megaman's for the music in my experience.

 

[MajinSweet4]

Nintendo determines the ruleset?

Seriously how is this shit acceptable? I really hope people complain, this is the first time Smash 4 is gonna be at Evo and it might get fucked over while Melee fans just continue to circle jerk? Wow.

Nah if the ruleset is shit I won't tune into either stream.

? Why are you hating on the Melee scene for something they have nothing to do with?

 

[Sylverstone14]

Hot damn. Himegoto on GAF.

 

[Revven]

Nope. Trinen knows competitive Melee and Sm4sh, Nintendo is simply enforcing licensing issues with stages that include 3rd party IPs.

This would also be something that makes sense. It's not even like those stages are legal in competitive play either anyway.

 

[Vena]

hopefully. I don't want to see a laaaaaandmaster at evo ever again

You likely won't. Trinen is a big Smash (and Melee) fan and he's, more than likely, the head behind all of Nintendo's involvements with the comp community. Its not like Reggie cares.

 

[StriKeVillain]

People gonna be passing out playing in pools.

 

[sixteen-bit]

how about that tekken <3

bruh

 

[Cody_D165]

Nope. Trinen knows competitive Melee and Sm4sh, Nintendo is simply enforcing licensing issues with stages that include 3rd party IPs.

I don't understand. Are they going to fucking ban the use of Mega Man, Sonic, and Pac-Man as characters too? How is the character any different than the stage? :/

 

[Snackawho]

Seriously though. Why does everyone seem to hate KI?

 

[Ferrio]

So how do you even do pools with Tekken 7 with that big of an event?

 

[Daouzin]

Melee is cracking 1500, guaranteed. Maybe 2000. It will be the second biggest game at the tournament.

I hope so. I definitely thought my last Melee tournament was last year's EVO, but looks like I'm wrong. I'll be going to support the community. If I'm still playing Smash 4 around that time I'll be sure to sign up for that too.

 

[RocBase]

im happy, great lineup

how about that tekken <3

praaaaaise mark!

 

[Silky]

Seriously though. Why does everyone seem to hate KI?

 

[LiK]

Seriously though. Why does everyone seem to hate KI?

who knows, i enjoy Max's commentary during it.

 

[Vena]

I don't understand. Are they going to fucking ban the use of Mega Man, Sonic, and Pac-Man as characters too? How is the character any different than the stage? :/

They have licensing for distributed use of the characters, not the other properties associated with the IPs, would be my understanding of it.

 

[FZZ]

? Why are you hating on the Melee scene for something they have nothing to do with?

If this happened to melee ALL Smash communities would get together and help out. If something bad happens to Smash 4 they won't bat an eye.

 

[Moonlight]

- Ultra Street Fighter 4
- Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3
- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
- Guilty Gear XRD
- Killer Instinct
- Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
- Mortal Kombat X
- Melee
- Tekken 7 by arcade cabinets

Holy fuck. I can scarcely imagine a better line up. I'd straight up given up all hope for seeing P4 Ultimax at EVO. This and GGXrd, mmmm.

 

[Passive Assassin]

damn. welp.

 

[J@hranimo]

FANTASTIC list. Just finished with the stream I think?

TWO Smash games! What a time to be alive!

Also hype for GGXrd, Mortal Kombat X and Tekken 7 Arcade Edition!

 

[Poltergust]

Weird, which aren't stages people are gonna use anyway. Even on Omega stages people don't usually go to those outside of Megaman's for the music in my experience.

I guess Nintendo wouldn't be in the know about that, though.

If it's just those stages, then whatever (even though I'd like Wily's Castle Omega for the music). Hopefully they won't extend themselves past that.

 

[jman2050]

Thinking about it I'm willing to bet the big sticking point for the third party stages is the music...

 

[jbug617]

my guess for finals:

Friday:
KI

Saturday:
Melee
P4AU

Sunday:
Xrd
MKX
UMvC3
Tekken 7
Smash Wii U
USF4

 

[El Sloth]

No UNIEL and BB. AnimEVO cancelled.

(Looking forward to those side tournaments. Hopefully I can see some Japanese Gordeau's doing hilarious things to US players.)

 

[Mass Effect]

Thinking about it I'm willing to bet the big sticking point for the third party stages is the music...

But the music can be turned off...

how about that tekken <3

you are awesome!

 

[Deleted member 13876]

That's a good line-up. Doesn't feel like any game that should be on it got shafted.

 

[ec0ec0]

.

Poltergust will win smash 4, right??

 

[Vena]

I guess Nintendo wouldn't be in the know about that, though.

If it's just those stages, then whatever (even though I'd like Wily's Castle Omega for the music). Hopefully they won't extend themselves past that.

Nintendo or EVO or both will likely jusy copy the APEX rules for EVO.

 

[Anth0ny]

don't worry about the smash 4 ruleset. NOA is close enough to the community not to screw it up.

they're sponsoring APEX and aren't imposing some dumb ass ruleset there.

 

[SDBurton]

how about that tekken <3

Thank you. So. So much.

 

[Crocodile]

So both Smash games got in? NNNNNNIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCEEEEEE!!!!!!!

 

[Poltergust]

Poltergust will win smash 4, right??

I couldn't even get into top 8 at a 200-person tournament lol.

But I'll try my best. =)

 

[PeptoandWhiskey]

Seriously though. Why does everyone seem to hate KI?

I would also like to know this. I would for sure play it if I owned an Xbox One.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

- Ultra Street Fighter 4
- Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3
- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
- Guilty Gear XRD
- Killer Instinct
- Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
- Mortal Kombat X
- Melee
- Tekken 7 by arcade cabinets

Thanks Boxy!

It may have been said many times in this thread already, but I see something wrong with that list.

No KoF. Hurts my soul, brother.

Pumped to watch some Xrd action, though.

And LOL @ Melee. It's like the Super Turbo of its series... a game that's old, but so awesome that it keeps getting played at Tourney level many, many years after it came out.

 

[PadWarrior]

I don't understand. Are they going to fucking ban the use of Mega Man, Sonic, and Pac-Man as characters too? How is the character any different than the stage? :/

Man if Mega Man is banned that would be sad

 

[TreIII]

Dat XRD. Dat Persona. Dem Smashes.

Dat Tekken 7.

Only thing that would make it better for me was if Pokkén stopped on by, too!

 

[LiK]

Man if Mega Man is banned that would be sad

not having the best Final Smash there would be cruel.

 

[R_thanatos]

How's KI's scene? Still somewhat popular? Seems like it is.

Plus I'm sure Microsoft made sure it showed up with a nice cash incentive.

And yet again, KI getting that shade.



Bruh

You know i can't truthfully answer those questions . You can't follow them all ( the scenes after all ) .

I was under the impression that it had lost it's way already .. maybe i was wrong ..

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

How did UNIEL get robbed for an EVO spot by P4AU...

 

[tapedeck]

Seriously though. Why does everyone seem to hate KI?

Because M$ clearly moneyhatted that terrible F2P half-assed boring dead american made franchise into Evo over Melty Blood.

 

[jwhit28]

They have licensing for distributed use of the characters, not the other properties associated with the IPs, would be my understanding of it.

Its weird since Capcom and and Namco are both partners of Evo as well. Sonic and Mario have been sharing games for almost a decade.
